L'Occitane has released a summer version of their popular Verbena fragrance. Citrus Verbena Summer is...
Enriched with organic verbena from Corsica, lemon oil from Sicily and grapefruit extract from Italy, this new summer fragrance tones and leaves the skin scented with an invigorating and fruity fragrance. (via loccitane)

Sadly, this smelled like cheap furniture polish – the original is much nicer IMHO.
Oh, what a shame! Was sort of surprised by this release…I think of the original as a summer scent anyway.
I think I will sample this one the next time I visit L'Occitane.
I like the original, but it has geranium or something in the drydown which I find mildly disagreeable. The notes in this one sound appealing to me (I tend to enjoy fragrances that others describe as “furniture polish”).
I also thought this was a weird summer release for them.
I will undoubtedly try it too, and furniture polish doesn't much bother me either, but if it is a lighter version of the regular, I doubt I'll see the point.
This was wonderful! It took 4 months of waiting for it to come back in season after trying it at a local store for me to get some of my own. It's citrus with a touch of something warmer…spicier. I'm on my second bottle. I do have the original Verbena and it's much more of a simple citrus note. I wish they had the Summer version in more than just the fragrance spray. I'd love to have it in the body products also.
Wow, that was a long wait! Glad you're enjoying it.
